liii',Ttif v . r iiiiiii THURSDAY, FEBRUARY ti. 186€1 Unions of the most exciting nature are afloat respecting out relations with' Great Britain. Those who profess to be best in formed declare that war is imminent_ Mr. Adams has resigned. and a . new Minister is to be appointed to the British Court, who will be instructed to press the claims of our Government to a satisfactory issue without delay. But one ultimatum is to be presented —either England must pay what she owes dr fight. GMAT interest is everywhere beginning to be developed in the next Democratic Nation al 'Convention, and vigorous efforts are being made to - unite upon a candidate who will be acceptable to all the elements of the party. Mr. Pendleton's friends, we learn, are already sure of unanimous 'delegations to the Con vention from the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Nebraska; while, "as yet, it• is not known that the conventions of a single State have expressed an adverse preference. The Conventions of Connecticut and New Hampshire, held last month, did not pro nounce in favor of any individual, but decid: ed to leave their delegates go uninstructed. Among the, Eastern Democrats Mr. Pendle ton is Personally very popular, but they do not Took upon him as possessing the availa bility necessary to carry such States as New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and- Con necticut. A lively caucusing is now in pro . gress in Washington and New York, to see whether some name cannot be hit upon that will be acceptable to the Western Democrats and at the same tim — e - meet the siesires of those of the East, and it seems probable that the effort may be successful. We beg Democrats in both sections to remember that if we ex pect to attain success, there must be mutual' concessions, and a disposition to labor. for the harmony of the whole organization, and not merely to please any section. THE GRANT.JOIINSON CORRESPOND. E=l A . long, spicy and interesting correspond ence has taken place between the President and Gen. Grant, growing out of the Stanton - matter. • It was opened hy the General, who, in a spirited letter to Mr. Johnson, refers to the reports of 'his understanding relative to the disposal of the War office, asks whether it in true that the President has given his sanction to the statement that he had agreed to hold on to the position until a successor could be appointed, and indignantly denies that he had consented to uo so. The Presi dent "answers the - General in a calm and straight-forward manner, indulging in no in• decorous expressions, and simply reciting the theta in the case. He shoWs that the General had expressly, agreed either to resign the _of fice before the Senate should t ote to reinstate Stanton, in order to give an opportunity for the appointment of a new minister, or retain the •position until the question could be de cided by . the Courts. In proof of this, he cites the recollection of all his Cabinet, who, he says, are ready-to substantiate the state ment. The matter is thus narrowed down to one of veracity, Gen. Grant being the sole witness on his side, and the President and his Cabinet on the other—eight to one. It is evident that upon' receipt of the President's unanswerable letter, Gen. Grant lost his tem per. He waited three days before sending his reply, Fnd then appended his signature to an epistle which, for the sake of his reputa tion, he will wish had never been written. The General reiterates his denial of the agree ment referred to, and in an angry and unoffi• cerlike manner endeavors to give his remem brance of the circumstances, which only serves to make •' confusion worse confound ed." He announces his determination to obey Stanton's orders, notwithstanding the President's command to the reverse, and so unmistakably exhibits his sympathy with the unconstitutional acts of the Radicals that. none need have any doubts of his position hereafter. The correspondents say that., Mr. Johnson . is preparing a response, but with the candid public none will be needed to vindicate his position. No person of intelligence, s /10 is disposed to look at the subject fairly, can come.to any other coneltision than that the President has the better 'side of the contro verßY, and that .Gen. Grant has been guilty of an act -of duplicity disreputable in the strongest sense, unworthy of his position, and which will rest like. a dark and forbidding cloud upon his future reputatidn. RADICAL STATE CONVENTION• The Radicals of this State have called their State Convention to meet in Philadelphia, on the 11th of March—one week after that of the Democrats. - From present indications, the contest between the two hostile factions of the party will be renewed with increased venom and energy. It is well known that - for a number of years a desperate feud has existed between Gen. Cameron and ex-Gov f rmor Curtin, and that each has contended for the,eoutrol of the organization at every suc cessive State ConVention the Cameron hosts, fromtheir superior strategy and unity, gene rally managing to come oft victorious. The struggle this year has been revived by tin antic's of Gov ; Curtin to obtain the endorse ment of Pennsylvania for the Vice Presiden cy, which Cameron is determined that he shall not secure, let the cost be what it may. The Cameron men base brought out Gov. Geary fis Curtin's rival, and in every county of v,e State : the Radicals in selecting their delegates to the Suite Convention will do ,o with regard. to a choice between these two ambitious dernagOug,, Cameron count, among his supporter 4 such men as John C. 4unkel : • Elislis W. Davis, Speaker of the Mouse, Charles Gibbons, Benjamin Harris Brew,ter, Morrow B. Low ry. John Covode, _Wayne McVeigh and George Landon, wince Cnrtiu ranks among his adherents the soldier element of the party, with William D. Kel ley, Harty White, John Cessna, It. Biddle Roberta, and like small but noisy politicians. From the tone of the Radical press. it is cer tain that Grant will he indorst4 Mr President. There is no contest for the nominations of auditor General and Surveyor General,' and the present Incumbents—John IL Hartranft and Jacob 51. Campbell, will he renominated without opposition. IN ♦ recent private letter to ti friend Gen era! Hancock qac-s: • 'I always objected to being placed in com mand here when consulted. hen, in obedi ence to orders, it became necessary to occupy the position, I came determined to carry out the laws—not to make new ones unless necessary, and only when civil ones failed. I shall always regard the law, acting inside of it, not outside. If new laws are required, it is fOr Cobgress to make them. Those in force I shall not execute in .a partisan spirit; as long_as,l remain I will execute those in full. Having often to choose between the • civil-and military law, I take the former, and where powerless, will try and build it' up, If the-officers fail, I will appoint new macs, and if no good ones can be found, may have to resort to military despotism. rdo not be. lieve that will come. 'When it does I may make as good-a despot as any bne. I shall send you copies of my orders-, which will show my course of action to be inconformity With law." This N a sufficient rellitation of the Radical slander that General Hancock sought his present position to gratify his political pro clivities, and will not furnish much encour agement to:the Radicals'who are threatening, to legislate him out of the army. "Witxr," ayk the Cincialuiti Comnicreial, it profiiihe Republican party if it gain the whole South and lose the whole North ?" Theanswer to this conundrum will appear when the election returns of next November are counted. THE BVPIII4IIEIR The proposed bill - for gagging the mouths of the Supreme Court Judges, has elicited general public attention to that body,andive find a wide desire to secure reliable informa tion respecting its personal composition and political character. It is - known to most per sons that the Court,as originally constituted, was made up of nine - Members. During - Lincoln's administration, the number was in creased to ten, The real unavowed mo tive was to revolutionize the Court by adding more Republicans. In 1866, after Congress had quarrelled with PresidentJohnson,an act was passed reducing the number to seven.— The unavowed motive of This change WAS to prevent Mr. Johnson appointing Conserve five judges to fill vacancies. The Conserve five jifdges appointed under Democratic ad ministrations are aged men. In the ordinary course of nature, their seats were more likely to fall vacant than those of the Republican appointees of Mr. Lincoln. As the court had been increased to ten to enable 31r. Lincoln sooner to make it Republican, it was after wards reduced to seven to prevent-Mr. John son filling vacancies with Conservative judg es. As judges cannot be legislated out of office, the law of 1868 provided that no ap pointments should be made to fill vacancies until the number of judges should be reduced to seven, and that the Supreme Court should I thereafter consist of one Chief Justice and six Associate Justices. The death of Juige Wayne, of Georgia, last year, left the Court with but eight members, afwbich standard it will remain until another of theyjudges takes his exit from this lower Sphere, or the Radicals in Congress find it to their advantage I to again increase the Bench to its original proportion. The following is a list of the I judges, arranged (with the exception of the I Chief Justice) in the order of their appoint ment ' Salmon P. Chase, Ohio, Chief Justice. Sal ary. $6,500. Nathan Clifford, Maine, Associate Justice. Samuel Nelson, New York, " Hobert C. Grier. Penn'a, " David Davis, Illinois, Noah W. Swayne, Ohio, " Samuel F. Miller, lowa, " Stephen J. Field, California, " " • Each Associate Justice has a. salary of 46,000. . The Philadelphia Press gives the ages of these gentlemen as follows Chase, sixty ; Grier seventy-two on the sth of March,lB6B; Miller, forty-one; Clifford, sixty-five on the 18th of August, 18a): Nelson, about seventy; Field, forty-five.; Davis sixty; and Swayne about fifty-five. Judges Chase. Miller,Stvayne, Davis and Field were appointed by Lincoln, Grier by Polk, Clifford by Buchanan and Nel son by Pierce. The Democrats on the Bench are Justices Nelson, .Clifford and Grier; Judges Field and Davis agree with thetri : in regard to the unconstitutionality- of the ireconstruction acts; and Chase, Swayne and Miller Sustain the acts of their partisan friends in Congiess. SCOFIELD APIIW ASHLEY. We allude in another place to the resolu tion offered in Congress by Mr. Scofield, of this district, directing the Judiciary Com mittee to inquire into an alleged remark of Judge Fields, of the Supreme Court, pro , nouncing the reconstruction acts in violation of the Constitution, and looking to a move ment for his impeachment, in case the report should-he found correct. Of course, we have no idea that Scolield's labors will amount to anything more than to afford him an oppor tunity of making a little buncombe capital for use in securing a renomination, but the promptness with which the resolution was adopted by the Radical majority is a fair il lustration of, the, partisan disposition idCon• gress, and the terrorism they seek to inspire in all over whom they have any control. If a General offends them, they legislate him out of his commission. If the Supreme Court is supposed to hold the same opinion a cer tain laws of Congress that Thad. Stevens does, viz : that they are outside the Constitu tion, the Supreme Court is to he shorn of its power. If a.Judge glves expression to his private views, he is to be impeached. It is all intolerance, bigotry,despotism. The acts of Congress cannot bear the light, and Con gress is determined that they shall be accept ed in the dark, anti so executed as to effect the partisan and unpatriotic purposes of th'eir framers, who care more for an election than ' they do for the country. The Radicals are soling a good deal of rope lately, and the usual result is sure to folio*.. Wnr.s. the eight bolters in our State Legis lature were induced to vote fur the Radical candidate for Speaker, after they had accused him of corruption, treachery and inefficiency, we suggested that it would yet be ascertained . that something else than the motive they pro fessed had actuated them (to retry at from their original position. The explanation has come even sooner than we anticipated. During the debate in the House, a week or two ago, the following proceedings took place : "Mr. Armstrong, - of Lancaster, offered a resolution appointing additional transcribing clerks. This gave rise to an animated debate, Mr. .Arm,trong, who had been one of the eight dissenters, who at the beginning of-the session had refused to vote fin. Davis, and who had urged retrenchment and refonn„de dared that he had been promised the choice _of this additional clerk and that such clerk was needed. The Republican majority de nied that they bad endorsed or made any such contract, anti the Democrats called for the production of any agreement or contract hich had been made between the eight dis senting Republican:: and the majority." So it would seem that the virtuous Arm `strong sold his vote to Davis tor the cheap consideration of ad additional clerk ! It does not look well to see his fellow Rads repudiate the eon tract. Let them pay the fellow his price, and leave Ithn to the tender mercies of his constituent,. • 11c 1V anv ineq)er of the Radical organiza tion can rook another member in the face with out laughing. we are iiitabre to undeistand, when it% profroasion FS iny3tlo are compared with Mb practice% during the past %even yeara: Incorporated in the platform adopted by the Republican National Convention -which met at Chicago in IMO, were the following reaolu-. tions "icsotreet, That the maintenance of the principles in the Declaration of Independence and erubodied in the Federal Constitution— the tights of the States, and the union of the State,--must and shall be preserved. "Re t .lccd, That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political faith depends "Reaarat, That the people view with alarm The reckless extravagance which pervades every deplrtment of thd Federal government, that a retatm to rigid economy and account ability is indispensable to arrest the system of phinder of the public ,treasury by favored - partisans. while the recent startling develop ments of fraud and of corruption at the fede rd metropolis show that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded." If it is not tut impertinent question, we beg to enquire whether any Republican State Convention that may meet this year will ven ture to adopt these resolutions Viva Claw 4 Mand Cp. 9,ueb.—Witere on the map is New Africa'? sAti.—lu North America.

SENATon Witsox saps, "The RepubliCan party will take no steps backward." But It is taking very rapid steps downward. Pas erjct wants somebody to keep tally of the Reconstruction laws. Tley are so nu merous it is hard to keep track of them. Woo says the negroes are not magnani mous ? If the Florida Convention did elect an entire black set of temporary officers, it .gave the permanent Presidency to a white man. "MAcx," of the Cincinnati Commercial, writes that Morrissey has won got en opin ions for quiet and unobtrusive demeanor and Urbanity of diiposition since his accession to the House. .laN 'T Congress endeavoring to accomplish just what the Confederates attempted to do, namely: the establishment of a government at the Sbuth independent of the North and of the President ? GEN. BUTLER is said to have been engaged in getting up proof that Gen. Grant has been seen staegering,drunk on the streets. In the last controversy between Grant and Butler, the latter cut ;a sorry figure. Perhaps he may be able this time to get Grant down on the whiskey, question. The undertaking is admirably suited to Butler's genius. ..k.t.vitot:un the -late lamented" Lincoln appointeti the of the eight Supreme Court Judges now on the bench, the Radical Con gress declares that it will not acquiesce in their keision touching, the Congressional militag despotism bill. unless six of the eight Judges concur In the decision. They are not willing to trust even Mr. Lincoln's court with the decision of the matter. Tim Erie Republican lashes itself into fury over the N. Y. Tribune, because it published the following paragraph :. "It is stated that Coy. Geary withholds the Pennsylvania appropriation from the Antie tam Cemetery, because the Illarvland author ities have made provision to bury the rebel dead therein. We trust that the story is not true. "If we are ready to pardon the rebels who have laid down their arms, can we not forget resentment toward those who have given up their lives ?" AN election for Governor and other. State officers will be held in New Hampshire, in March next: Both parties *are exert ing their utmost strenth to win the fight. Last year the Radical candidate for Governor was elected by 3,100 ina 'jarity. Since then the Democrats have made important accessions, and it looks 'now as though the contest would be a very close one, and sanguine people even hope for a Demo cratie victory. -JAIIT.B MOTT, of Philadelphia, who recent ly died in - Brooklyn, was for many, years a prominent abolitionist and disunionist,— About ten years ago_ he, another white man, and two or three negroes, signed a petition to Congress asking for a dissolution of the Union. Mr. Mott lived long enough to see the Union between the Northern and 'South ern Statek, established by the Constitution, unsuccessfully attacked by arms, but success ftilly broken afterwards by his political friends in Congress. flow: of the Connecticut Radicals' have n trying to restrain the ardent brother who recently urged the assassination of President Johnson ; whereupon he breaks limit as nil lows: "Thank God, we are no Pickwickian! We say, death to traitors ! We say that An drew JohnsOn is the chief of traitors, and he ought to die the death of a traitor. ' General Gtnnt has killed thousands of better men than Johnson. This has 'made hint great. And he who wouldkill the greatest traitor of the age would he greater than Grant.' • Iv the recent special cletition for Conpre ,- -9- . man in the Eighth District of Ohio, to till the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Ham ilton, the Republicans succeeded in electing Gen. Beatty by eight hundred and twenty nine majority. As compared with the iote of '66, when Mr. Hamilton's majority was eighteen hundred and fifty-two, the above figures show a. Radical loss of ten-hundred and twenty-three. With this margin to go upon, Beatty only saved himself from defeat lfy assuming Democratic ground in relation to the-pavinent of the public debt in green backs.

Patrick Henry, ,Henry Clay or Daniel Webster does not thunder forth, in eloquent sentences, his indignant protest against a course which keeps our country di vided and our people embroiled?" GRANT stock, Presidentially, since the pub lications in the World, Herald and National Intelligencer, exhibiting and proving beyond cavil the duplicity practiced by that over rated individual on the subject of the re-in ' stalltuent of Stanton, is decidedly below par. Judge Chase and Ben. Butler, in consequence, are bOth in ecstasies—the former becaume his chances for the Radical nomination are Ml terially improved, and the latter because, hating Grant with radirat hate, he cannot help but realize a corresponding enjoyment from witnessing his (Grant's} discomfiture. A proruinent gentleman who knOwa Grant like like a biaok, remarked yestent4 as folloWs bet my pile that when Gen: Grant saw that exposure in the World he heaved a sigh and then called fOr a new cigar and an extra large 'snifter.' " Dents° the Debate in the House of Rep• resentativea on the deficiency bill,the subject of allowance for stationery to members of Congress came up, when Mr. Maynard,- of Tennessee, proposed that all members should be allowed to draw whatever stationery they needed. Mr. Stevens objected to this. Ile said that plan had been tried and hid to be changed - because some members procured under the name of stationary pantaloon's, shirts and shaving soap enough to last them rot:years. Some members had run up their account for stationery to nearly a thousand dollars. The conchision that pantaloons, shirts and shaving soap are stationery, to which some -of our sapient. Congressmen came, is about as sensible and honest as the conelushin they have come to that the negro ' should be made the superior of the white man. Tuosc Republicans .who have thought that fidelity to.party required them to defend the Congressional scheme of reconstruction, as a whole and in all its part's, find it "hard sledding" about this time. They hardly know, where they arc, or what they shall be -called Pi swear by next. To makt. every:- thing sure and to cover all possibilities they might well modify their confession of politi cal faith andinit it in a comprehensive form something like this: "We are for the Con gressional plan as it was, its it and as it shall be, world without end:' And, to make all safe over night, Dr. Watt's famous sleep inviter might he used in this 'modified form : "Now I lay the down to sleep, My-reconstruction faith to keep;' If it should change before I wake, The latest sort I'll try to , take."

Now ru mors reach us from - - Washington, coming from different and trustworthy sources, that General Grant has been seen- unmistakably .lrunk in the streets of that city within a few weeks. We know nothing ourselves of the truth of these minims. We make no charge against General Grant•in this respect.. But even the possibility of the 'truth .of the-e reports is of too momentous importance to he lightly dealt with. The nation is bound to inquire as - to the habits of candidates for high office. After the experience of the last three years it hasno right to run the slightest risk in this respect. No public man, whose friends are asking for hjm- high office, ought to complain of the strictest scrutiny by the public as to his habits in this particular. We call,therefore, on the national and State tem perance societies to invc. ? tigatt• these reports. They 'have this subject in their special charge. They are bound to give us the facts, an .save us from even the possibility of such another infliction - as the nation now suffers. Especially we call on the Hon. Henry Wil son, a pledged teetotaler, to see that the whole truth in this matter is given to the country. He has devoted himself to the - ad vocacy of Grant's claims. As a ltemperance' man, he is bound to see that we run no risks of this kind._ Living in Washington, he must knoW;itr have.ample means of knowing, the truth as to this matter. If we are unneces sarily anxious, let him relieve us by trust worthy assurances that Grant is now a tem perate man, fully able, on all occasions to withstand this temptation. If the fact is not 'so, let him explain to his temperance associ aces how he dares to ask their votes for Grant. It is perilous enough to give the Presi-' deucy to a man. who was confessedly an in veterate drunkard two or . three years ago. But it will be the gravest crime to give it to him if that vice still holds him in` his iron -grasp. Of course fidelity to the negro must be our first and decisive test of any man's fitness for the Presidency.. But this test of temperance is also vital. WENDELL PHILLIPS: 'A Covert Thrust tri Theodore Ttltoar A Presidential Candidate Ituddled In The Streets. , From the Independent, January Z.l.] C., ' Under the roof of the Capitol there i, now very little intemperance, whether among Democrats or Republicans. Occasionally a Presidential candglate is seen fuddled in the streets; but, as this happens only on a Sun day, it cannot be said to interfere with pub lic business, and does not strikingly challenge public attention. Besidek if a Vice-Presk dent is drunk with a view to his inauguration, what shall restrain a Presidental candidate from a little tipsiness with a view to his nomination ? One glass of wine: poured down the throat of the next President of the United States, and making a hell in his blood;', may give this whole nation the delirium tre;, ' menu. We suggest it prohibitory law to take effect on nominating conventions, and a tent- pe , ance pledge to be signed by their - mond- I flees. A Wordfrom the Woman's Right• or.
